After introducing C. Lee and the photos she took while in Shanghai (she's still there, still hiding, and I underline that I mean a positive thing in saying "hiding". Hide yourself in the woods! There you'll find protection), here some other news: besides our beloved Trees, you will recognize some birds on 2 of the 3 pics I'm posting today.I've learned these birds are called starlings.They've been reharsing for days, in order to migrate.It's still kind of warm here, 8 to 10 Celsius degrees, maybe 5 in the evenings.When I was a kid it was like this earlier in October.Anyway, these birds have been doing circles all day long in the past couple of days.At the beginning I had the feeling that I was missing something...Then i remembered.With C. Lee, three years ago at least, we did record some birds while they were doing this same thing. We used those field recordings as introduction to "Go Sinister", a song part of the "...and He told us to turn to the Sun" album...And now here they are, and I'm pretty damn sure they are the same birds. Less maybe, but they came back.And I want to be clear, I'm not saying here that they came back for me, nor for C.Lee. No, they came back to the Trees. They found once here protection, so they came back.They prove me right, or I prove them right.Here a link to listen to that song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ceeb7y407Uo

The birds taught me that I always should to go back to the Trees.These trees of ours.
